My first multitracked "music" with the DIY modular

In this song i've used the following YuSynth modules: VCOs, EMS VCF, ADSRs, a mixer, and a VCA.

Magic Smoke 8K LFO

For the next module, which I want to build, i've needed a simpe LFO with speed control only. After hours of browsing the schematics, i've found Tim Servo's MSE 8K LFO. This circuit can do triangle and square waveforms, and it's high range, but with only one pot it's hard to fine tune on the lower end. The schematics shows a fine tune pot, but i don't want to include it, because of the limited front panel space.
It's very easy to build, only a TL072 or 074 opamp is needed. I've integrated a simple led driver too.
With polyester caps, the triangle waveforms are perfect, of course ceramics don't do it very well.
My version uses 1nF timing caps, and this gives 15 sec with the lowest pot setting, which is perfect for me.

More schematics, simple LFO's, and waveshapers for this LFO are here.

Thanks to Tim Servo, for his great work!

My new module: Mixer, MidiCV

This is a combined module, which contains a 6 input mixer, a monophonic Midi2CV converter (MCV-628), and an input preamp.

My new, non-standard panel format is 160x160 mm, fixed. I've bought a 20 aluminium panels, and I will repanel the old blue modules. I need to do this, because the old panels are weak, and inaccurate.

Wiring...

The last few weeks wasn't really productive (it's summer...), but i've started wiring up the frontpanels. It's not an easy job for me...

Here are the YuSynth ADSRs, and the YuSynth sample&hold + noise, and the YuSynth ringmod.

The show so far...

This picture shows the current state of my project. These are the PCBs of my 'basic' modular (except for the Midibox). I've realised, that I must redesign the mixer for my own needs, so i've started an Eagle project for this module, based on Yves's design. This is a simple goal for my nonexistent sdiy knowledge.
